Using Oncourse Gradebook, how do I enter or edit grades?

Note: To complete these procedures, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. To view a list of permissions associated with a given role, see Permissions, roles, and tools. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.

Note: Letter grades in Gradebook are referred to as non-calculating grades. Non-calculating grades may be any string of text up to eight characters. If you want your grades calculated automatically, you must enter them as either points or percentages. See Changing the grade entry, type, and scale in Gradebook.

Entering grades

Note: If you use the Add to Gradebook option in Forums or Tests & Surveys, you must enter grades via that tool rather than Gradebook. However, with Assignments 2, you can enter grades via either Assignments 2 or Gradebook.

To enter grades for items in Gradebook:

In your site's menubar, click Gradebook. If you are not already on the main page of the Gradebook tool, click Gradebook Items or the up arrow icon (
) to the left of the tool name.
Click the title of the item for which you want to enter grades.
Note: To display more students than the default view, use the Show drop-down list. To display specific groups or sections of students, use the View drop-down list.
Enter each student's grade for the item into the box following the appropriate name. Scores for point and percentage gradebook items must be greater than or equal to zero, and may contain up to two decimal places. For non-calculating items, grades may be any text string up to eight characters. You may leave a box blank if you are waiting on a student's grade. (Note that blank entries will affect course grades differently than zeroes; see Course grade calculations.)
To add comments for students, click Edit Comments. Type your comments in the text box.
When you are finished, click Save Changes. A grade history log indicating the date entered, the grade, and the submitter is created for each score. Click the Log icon to view the details for an entry.

Editing grades

To edit previously entered grades in Gradebook:

In your site's menubar, click Gradebook. If you are not already on the main page of the Gradebook tool, click Gradebook Items or the up arrow icon (
) to the left of the tool name.
Click the title of the item for which you want to edit grades.
On the Gradebook Item Summary page, current grades for individual students for this particular item will appear in editable fields following each student's name. To edit a grade for a student, change the grade in the appropriate field.
To add comments for students, click Edit Comments. Type your comments in the text box.
When you are finished, click Save Changes. The grade history log will record the date of each grade change, the updated grade, and the name of the user who made the change. Click the Log icon to view the details for an entry.

Note: Scores submitted via external tools such as Forums and Tests & Surveys cannot be edited in Gradebook. These scores must be changed in the source tools. However, scores submitted via Assignments 2 can be edited in either Assignments 2 or Gradebook.
